Elizabeth Olsen is a familiar face to most people. You may have been watching the actress on WandaVision these days. You may also know that she has two famous older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley, whom you have known since  your childhood if you are of a certain age.

Speaking to Grazia USA, Olsen talked about her family ties and how they have affected her career. She said she is aware of nepotism but has always wanted to make it on her own. People pointed out that this is not the first time Olsen has talked about her sisters recently. A month ago, the actress talked about wanting to take inspiration from their style choices throughout her “entire life”.

She shared with SiriusXM on The Jess Cagle Show via Buzzfeed that she wants to wear everything her sisters have worn. She wants their coats, their shoes, their dresses. Fortunately, it seems  Olsen has cut her own cloth in the acting and fashion worlds, and beyond.
